Skins on C4

Skins, the sex, drink and drug-fuelled drama that depicts teenage life as it often is, rather than how parents imagine it, is saying goodbye to the second generation of a group of spliff toting British teenagers when the series concludes the encore screening of its fourth season on Monday, January 31st at 9:30pm on C4.

According to series creator Jamie Brittain, the series four finale will be an emotional roller coaster for the series’ young characters. “It’s all about goodbyes,” Brittain explains.

“It’s about saying goodbye to your friends and the things you’re going to leave behind. It’s sort of a poem about the end of teenage life. It’s a very pretty and beautiful episode.”

Unlike previous episodes the finale will not have a character focus but will instead conclude each teen’s story.

“The finale takes place at Naomi’s house and is set over two days,” Brittain continues. “Throughout the episode, a series of showdowns will ensue between the characters,” he adds.

As well as this, the episode will also see Klariza Clayton returning to the series as Freddie’s sister Karen.

Could Clayton become the central character for Skins’ fifth season? Only time will tell. But in the mean time make sure not to miss the fourth season conclusion when Skins says goodbye its second generation on Monday, January 31st at 9:30pm on C4.
